THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED ENGINE FAILURE, IMMEDIATE ATTENTION REQUIRED. SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND RAISED THE HOOD AND FLAMES STARTED COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA AND SPREAD VERY QUICKLY. I CALLED 911 TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. CAUSE OF FIRE IS UNKNOWN. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILLED OUT BUT I DON'T HAVE IT AT THIS TIME.
